Consider it like your email. You can use yours to communicate with people using any service, but you can’t sign into a gmail account with outlook.
That's a poor example, as Outlook basically is a mail client and you actually can use it to access your Gmail mails.
I think they meant Outlook.com, the e-mail service, not Outlook the software.
I was thinking whether I should add a remark that you can add your Gmail account to outlook.com as well, but I didn't want to over-complicate it. In the end, both Outlook (the program) and outlook.com are mail clients of a sort, the latter being a webmail client.
